I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in polish
@@MatthewTheUntitled actually it depends lot of us would protect this skin as ugly as it is
Can't forget Lithuania too
It could be better but im just glad its there as a polish person
As a person from Poland, all I can say is, this skin makes me laugh hard. But my group of friends still are somewhat happy for a Polish touch in league (even though it looks in-game like this)
as a polish person, if xin gets a visual update would you prefer it to look more accurate to real life or have them keep some of the uh... "artistic liberties" that they did when they made the original
@@oarck Well im polish so i can anwser too i guess. Personaly i want it to be pretty accurate but still orignal enough to be xin not a entilery diffrent character
I'd really like a Winged Hussar skin for Rell.
Imagine that.
@@Lucky-yr2ju that would be soooooo good.
@@Lucky-yr2ju historically it would be bad but it would look sick
"This is a legacy skin for a reason"
Yep, sums it up quite nicely.
Oh god I never really looked at Xin Zhao’s model before
It really is awful
Mah boi needs a vgu
Welcome to 10+ year old champion designs.
Yeah I was like, "The splash doesn't look half bad" and then WOMP there it is
I didn't even know that this skin existed
Same
Only Polish people know about this skin
Same, I thought this vid was one of Skyen's non league content till i read the title
@@szymonlewandowski9690 i still use it because it's fun to play sabaton's "winged hussars" while playing it
@@szymonlewandowski9690 even most of the polish people do not know about it
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
I have a feeling if and when he gets a visual update, this will be one of the best skins he has
it's always the deal with visual updated heroes.
still in awe with the old fiddlesticks skins (after his update)
@@n128fix yup, i still can't believe they made his olympics skin into something as badass as it is now
@@n128fix the blue Ghost skin actually looks dope which i like
Imagine "Winged Hussar" skin for Rell.
Oh boy.
given her nature, maybe a mamluk or cataphract skin would be better
As a Pole I gotta say so much potential waisted this skin would fit perfectly for Hecarim
Omg that would be so cool
I would give it to rell tbh since she's actually riding a horse.
WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Tbh when you were showing that splash art I was like “oh it doesn’t look that bad, it looks kinda cool in some aspects”. But then I remembered that:
a) he doesn’t have a mount in-game
b) by design, he has to look cartoony
And lo and behold, his in-game model looks very stinky.
Maybe this idea would’ve worked better on someone like Rell, I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️
hussar rell sounds awesome, i dont think riot makes skins that are explicitly based off of real world entities that often anymore tho. itd probably be something along the lines of phoenix rell or somethin
A skin that's supposed to be a symbol of national pride would feel very out of place with rell
@@of5606 Lore-wise and voice-line wise, yes. But a legendary that changes the voice-lines would work perfectly fine on Rell. Yes, it's out of place because it goes entirely against her lore, but that doesn't matter for a skin that's made for appearances.
@@oarck the problem with giving this skin to someone else is that the only reason this skin exists is to celebrate polish language being added as a voiceover to the game, similar to dynasty ahri(?) which was made to celebrate creating the korean or japanese server (i dont recall anymore but if i had to say id say japanese), that being said one of them aged much better than the other lmao
@@Elunore1 I didn't know that, thanks for telling me. I agree that having giving Rell a literal "Winged Hussar" skin would be a bit wonky for the character and detract from the meaning of Hussar Xin, but I do think touching upon the aesthetics of winged hussars in a respectful way would work really well with a character who uses a horse and polearm. polska gurom :^)
Alright so I started guessing on which skins skyen would pick as his best/worst ones and decided to keep a tally in the comment section. My vote this time was on commando Xin zhao so I got this one wrong (in my defense I wasn't sure whether or not legacy skins are fair game).
Tally: 6/12 right (can't seem to escape this 50/50 ratio)
Next guess: arcana xerath as xerath's best skin. The entire arcana skinline rocks and I love tarot designs. Still not entirely sure about this one because dark star is also realy good but that one is kinda held back more by Xerath's model (it doesn't really convey the idea of a living black hole that consumes stuff very well because unless you're using the ult it still looks like it's being restricted by something).
Also the pretty boy part isn't really a problem for me because the idea behind the skin is temptation, Arcana Xerath tempts people to act on their base urges gaining power through that so him being hot fits (please don't make him a canonical pretty boy though riot).
Edit: (Is me getting a heart from Skyen a spoiler? eh whatever this is just something I do for fun anyway)
edit x2: the heart got removed so maybe it was
If you edit your comment, you lose the heart
@@goop126didn't know that thanks.
@@appelofdoom8211 Same thing happens to pinned comments. I am going to assume (naively) it's to stop people from getting pinned/hearted and editing the comment to something _really_ stupid
As a Polish fan I'm sad this skin is really bad
Ja też
He’s really rocking that old man “I haven’t shit for 2 weeks and I’m mad about it” face
It’s easily an S tier meme skin for all my fellow sabaton fans
**Angry Sabaton noices**
The skin is not that awful if you consider it as a meme skin (WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED)
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Yes, that’s how I was told about it by my friend xD
Still, Sabaton memers would be the most likely people who would buy this skin.
This is one of the skins I didn't even know existed.
The commando skins are so bad, they need a whole video about why they're the worst skinline in the game
but they have -1 damage dealt to them by Leona's spells 😎😎😎
or atleast had
Everyone was silent
But than THE Winged Hussars arrive
I recently thought i could be fun if you started doing design analysis on Animal Crossing villagers, maybe the best and worst of each species?
Yes pls
But.....they don't look kinda same because of the model of the character?
@@artuhribeiro9715 But they can have different visual designs and personalities.
@@artuhribeiro9715 I don't think it would be too different from the LoL skin reviews i that regard. When their design is the biggest thing any villager has for themselves, it's nice to see what can or can't work.
@@insheepsclothing5574 i see, thank you very much
Any and all Sabaton fans who see this all screamed in agony at the defilement…
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
Also, can we talk about how Xin Zhao has a lot of skins where the splash arts have him riding a horse, but no horse in game or his kit? Just thought it was worth mentioning
Polska mistrzem Polski!
He's meme in Poland
I see Skyen has resorted to making up skins for content purposes, hate to see legends fall like this 😔
i always see the wings on this skin as big ears. i dont know why
My history teacher said that the wings were attached to horses saddles instead of soldiers backs. If they were on the backs it would be a hinderence in combat
Oh, thanks for the semi-monthly reminder that Xin Zhao is a character that exists
Bruh why does the splash art look so fucking good
Xin Zhao has always been "oh yeah that champion exists" for me
The winged hussars did not arrive with this one
I love this skin so much, i always use it when i play xin. idgaf if it's not historically accurate, but i genuinely love its visual
Great idea of giving a guy named Xin Zhao a Slavic skin. It's like making a character named Pedro Martinez into an Egyptian mummy
I haven't found this in comments so I will write this. If my memories are correct this skin was made as celebration of LoL getting Polish version (dub and all that other stuff). It was really early on in LoL live (season 1 or 2. In those time it was The coolest thing Polish representaion in game, almost every Polish Xin Player had this skin. But now this skin looks... not up to standard is nice way of saying that
🎵 WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE 🎵
The glint of hope is that someday they will refresh his model and that skin will look awesome as the splash art promise
*breathes in* AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED (dun dun dun dun dun...)
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE (dun dun dun dun dun...)
The splash art looks so good though!
This skin is a flex in Poland in some kind of a way
They did him so dirty with this one 😭
I like winged hussar, i use it in about 20% of my xin games
lol this is actually my favorite Skin for Xin because he doesnt look goofy like all the others xD
I like it. Sure its old, but i think its the most classy xin zhao skin for sure.
They did my boy dirty.
An insult to the irl winged hussars
*Polska has entered the chat*
Winged hussar looks like the aftermath of what warring kingdom xin would look like.
This skin need more Polish
I feel like I was catfished by that splash art.
where is the horse!!!! isn't a crucial part of the skin inspiration!! goddd 😂😂
I'm just happy that Poland got slightly recognised with this skin as Poland has the 6th largest amount of league players
I can't believe the splash art goes this hard for the skin to look like... That.
I actually love that skin 😭😭😭😭😭😭
as a hussar this skin is horrendous
In the many years I've played League of Legends, I have not once seen this skin. I had no idea it even existed.
i kind of hope that xin zhao is one of the first champs to get a AU or what they new things are called.
I'mma wait until about 4 hours so that I forget that I watched this video so that I forget this skin even exists. Oofie.
With a decent update it could definetly be one of his best skins
Me and the boys laughed a lot because of this skin. It's cool that Poland has their national-based skin in game, but this particular skin is kinda cringe. Still better than 95% of arcade skins tho
I always thought he looks more like a Roman legion with a spear instead of a gladius
He really needs a visual rework
i genuinely thought this was a different game before i read the title of the video
All good points, but when you come out of the jungle for a gang you can scream:
Then the winged hussar arrived
Coming down the riverside
Then the winged hussar arrived
Coming down they turned the tide
As a history nerd this is easily one of my favourite skin concepts and probably the best Xin one for me. I agree its clunky but I love it.
This is my favorite xin zhao skin, maybe because I love the winged hussars irl lol
If Rito made a VA and made this skin 1350rp Quality, that would be kinda cool. Also, instead of making 20th dark star or cosmic skin, they could make hussar Hecarim or hussar Yasuo.
I'm so glad that as far as I read comments no one form my country has been acting like a child about Skyne calling this skin bad
I really like this skin ingame
he got cowboy boots on.
I think the worst part is he doesn't have the horse in game as a home guard animation
Don’t forget that they didn’t gave him a horse on homeguard
I think this is his best skin lmao
I own this skin but I still use the default one because something about the wings on the back doesn't look so right. Maybe they can make it more majestic or what.
old skins ideas > new skins ideas
i like the skin, also i like the song that sabaton made named winged hussar
But then the winged hussars arrived
Honestly I'd l0ve if they did a winged hussar skin for Hecarim, just make him be horse and rider. Hussar centaur.
I don’t even think I’ve looked at this skin’s model before. I kind of wish I hadn’t.
I actually really love the splash
Man…he is really one of the champs that NEED a visual update. Like I know they have the VGU and now GPU but characters like this and honestly Malphite too just need a Model & Animation update his kit it fine
AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I really want a winged hussar Hecarim. Such a shame Riot doesn't make this kind of skin anymore.
The splash art looks cool if you have no idea what they're supposed to look like
He is supposed to be a Hussar, but the pauldrons and helmet look like Roman armor.
Love this skin
I love this splash art, really gives me a Chinese legendary general/warrior vibe. And then... he looks like that in game. *Sigh* Maybe in the future, buddy.
I don’t generally consider myself as someone who critiques skins (or just character designs in general) as I generally enjoy media casually without looking too deep, but when I played with this skin for the first time, I laughed out loud and was like “wtf is that??”
I JAVE TBIS LOL
This is my first time seeing this skin
how is there no one singing sabaton in the comments rn
The Winged Hussar Xin Zhao came out as a skin to celebrate the launch of polish server in 2011. At the time Xin Zhao was the only character with a proper two handed spear and best fit for the skin as Rell was obviously not a thing back then. The picture youre showing is the "new" picture which in my opinion blatantly lies. It just makes it look like the Chinese Splash Arts which some of them even came to other servers where the picture is actually a wallpaper and can be downloaded and set as a background. Old global splash arts didnt care for that so most of them had half of the picture black so there wont be any parts of the picture which would disappear under the ui. The skin itself suffers from being old since Xin Zhao is one of the heroes who never had a visual update, he just had a texture update like all other old heroes when they visually updated the Summoner's Rift. Thats also why the iron feathers (yes they arent meant to be actual feathers but iron which made to look like feathers so it would enlarge the siluette and be more likely to scare the horses away) float on his back. Before he was HD-ified that was barely visible and was made to prevent it stretching along with the model when he uses his ult. You should wait for a Xin Zhao visual update if you want to see this skin shine like alot of his skins would aswell.
This is one of my favorite splashes lol
I have never in the history of ever seen this skin or even been aware of it's existance. And now I know the reason why.
Hot take this is my favourite xin skin i feel like that all the fancy skins just kook wrong on the Champ the older skins look just better fitting
as a partially polish person who knows hardly anything about Poland: man they had such a cool idea and just . didn’t. do anything good with it
This makes all the Poles upset
Still my favorite xin skin.
Sometimes I feel like the only reason why this Skin was created, was to make the Polish Community go "look, now you have your own skin. Now adore us."
* sad polish noises *
the worst part is this is a really cool skin idea, but it was executed horribly
